1935-1950 Delahaye Type 135

The 1935-1950 Delahaye Type 135, a fine, modern grand touring car, took
over from Delage in the hearts of sporting drivers. The Delahaye was powered by
a very refined truck engine and, like the Delage, distinguished by a variety of
typical French shapes. Most were built with sedan and sporting two-door
bodywork, but a few serious competition cars were also completed.

The chassis was strictly conventional apart from independent front suspension
and a synchromesh gearbox, though with supple and advanced road behavior and
100-mph performance. Some cars were fitted with the Cotal electromagnetic gearbox,
a real French specialty.Pluses of the 1935-1950 Delahaye Type
